"yeah their concerns were that a metal wheelchair would be a fire hazzard as it might spontaneously combust but the wooden bookcase with books in it, or the wooden chairs or table wouldn't be a risk?? neither would the wooden stairs ... "The fire hazard argument isn't usually that something is combustible, more that its likely to be an obstacle in very smoky conditions. That said, if you've got wooden stairs I guess a wee thing like a hurly chair isn't going to be an issue. It's probably more likely to get stolen than cause death by fire. | |||

awwww but u can still visit ... can't you? and can now do the nice things instead of the essential things "The home is 45 miles away - special dementia home - but yes can visit altho at mo I'm leaving her to settle in n acquaint herself with new surroundings cos I don't wanna crying to go home if she sees me. It's soooo difficult to know what to best in these situations cos physically she is very fit, slim, wears her make up still etc - but mentally she is lost in the past  | |||

pray tell me what your point is ... no one can get in and no one will see the wheelchair ... from outside ... ?? "So she has no plans to use this wheelchair outwith her home? Ne'er do wells watch out for the vulnerable and take advantage. 'Secure' door entry systems aren't and wheelchairs are stolen all the time - even from M&S. I just hope this doesn't turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory - not that I suspect we'll be told if it is. | |||
